Film, Movie - Bridge to Terabithia + Trailer

Plot: Jesse is the only boy in a family of five children. His mother seems to favor his sisters and his father works in Washington, DC and doesn't have much time for him. Leslie's family, the Burkes, has just moved to this area in an attempt to start a new life. Both children are loners who don't fit in with their peers at school: Jesse is intensely interested in art, and Leslie's family does not practice a religion and doesn't own a television set. The two outsiders soon become close friends. Together, they create an imaginary kingdom in the woods near their homes, accessible only by a rope swing over a creek. They name the kingdom "Terabithia" and themselves King and Queen, and spend many hours there.

Jesse, who has a crush on his teacher, Miss Edmunds, does anything to be with her. The central crisis of the novel occurs when Jesse accompanies Miss Edmunds to an art show in Washington D.C., and Leslie goes to Terabithia alone. The rope breaks as she is swinging over the rain-swollen creek, and she hits her head and then drowns. Jesse can overcome his grief only with the strength and courage that his friendship with Leslie has given him.
